You’re Invited | Fan Fest + Full Day of Home Events

[McNamee, Doug]

Team,
As we continue building momentum around the upcoming football season and leaning into the Fan First Era, I want to personally invite each of you to join us this Saturday for Baylor Fan Fest at McLane Stadium. This is one of our first major touchpoints with fans this spring, and it’s important that we show up in a meaningful way—open, accessible, and centered around the Baylor community.

Event Details

  *   Saturday, April 25
  *   Begins at 10:00 AM
  *   South Plaza at McLane Stadium

Fan Fest is designed as a festival-style experience for our fans and families, featuring:


  *   Open football practice
  *   Live music
  *   BBQ cookoff
  *   Cornhole tournament
  *   15 local food trucks
  *   Youth Skills Combine
  *   Kids zone with inflatables, a uniform try-on station, Hoop Waco Pop-A-Shot, portable sandbox, face painting, a coloring station with custom Baylor pages, and Spirit & Mascot photo opportunities
  *   Activations with our local partners and sponsors

In addition, Saturday is Track & Field Senior Day at the Michael Johnson Invitational. Senior recognition is scheduled for 10:30 AM, with field events to follow shortly after. As your schedule permits, please take a moment to stop by and support our student-athletes.

To cap off the day, as Fan Fest wraps up, head over to Getterman to catch Baylor Softball take on #14 Oklahoma State at 2:00 PM.

Whether you’re helping support these events or simply attending with family and friends, your presence matters and is always appreciated.
